I've just received an email from Michelin confirming at long last the fabled Michelin Pilot SuperSport WILL be produced in 225/40/18Y XL format.
Release date is October 2013.

Having said that... they are highly unlikely to be price competitive with the Eagle F1s, so i doubt ill buy them anyway  :signLOL:

^^^^ Thank you.  :happy2:

Have heard good things about these tyres, shame I've bought new boots. How much, £130/£140 ish each?

PS3s via Costco are around £130ish per tyre before discount and i'd imagine the PSS will be priced higher so may be around the £130-140 mark after discount? I'd certainly like to try a set though as heard great things myself  :happy2:
